FAQs

The French Empire style, emerging in the early 19th century under Napoleon, is characterised by classical architectural lines, symmetrical forms, restrained ornamentation, and often features bronze or brass mounts influenced by ancient Roman and Greek designs.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, often with secondary pine or fruitwood carcasses. Traditional joinery includes hand-cut dovetails for the drawers and mortise and tenon frames, combined with cast brass hardware.

Authentication relies on examining the interior construction, such as hand-cut dovetailing, tool marks on the timber, historical wear patterns, and the composition of the hardware. Older pieces feature timber shrinkage and hand-forged or cast metal fittings rather than modern machine-made screws.

A bleached or scrubbed timber piece brings warmth and texture to contemporary spaces. It works well as a grounding focal point in a minimalist bedroom or hallway, contrasting against crisp neutral walls or polished concrete surfaces.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the finish without using harsh chemical cleaners.
